How many lines do you fish.

In Iowa you can only legally fish 2 lines at a time by rod and reel. I am pretty good at sticking to that. I usually fish with another person and usually 4 lines total is plenty to keep track of while fishing out of a boat. How many lines do you fish?

If bank fishing, I usually use 3 poles. If fishing from a boat, I will put out 2 trotlines with 15 hooks each, and R&R with 3 poles. Sometimes I think it's too many to keep track of, but I seem to lose poles these days. Last time I fished on the river, I only took 2 poles. One was a catfish pole, and the other was a bass spinner rigged for catfish. My big pole got pulled from the boat rod holder and all. Then I only had 1 flimsy rod to fish with.:angry:

Ain't that bad here, you can use up to 7 rods in OK. Most of the time I only use 3 rods at the local lakes.If you want to talk about using rods, in Tx you're allowed to use up to 100 hooks, which can be used as 1 hook per rod. So how would you like to use 100 rods at once.Will

With 3 or more knowledgeable fisherman in the boat, I fish 8 poles. With just me and my partner, we fish 6. You're right Willy, we do look like a Tuna boat - checkout the picture. FYI - the rods are up there when running out to our holes. I use twelve Driftmaster rod holders spaced around the back 2/3's of the boat when fishing.
